OH HAPPY DAY!!!

THE HOMIE MIKE VICK IS (officially) IN THEM STREETS!!!!!!!!!

I think it's pretty obvioius how I feel about this. But just in case you're wondering, click here to see.

HAMPTON, Va. (AP)—Suspended NFL star Michael
Vick’s(notes)
federal dogfighting sentence ended Monday, freeing him to lobby for a return to
the field.
Vick’s attorney Lawrence Woodward told The Associated Press
outside Vick’s suburban Virginia home that the former Atlanta
Falcons quarterback had been released from federal custody as scheduled.
That means Vick no longer has to wear the electronic monitor he’s had on while
under home confinement for the last two months of his 23-month
sentence.
Shortly before Woodward came out of the house, two men in a
government car with a federal Bureau of Prisons folder on the dashboard paid a
brief visit to the home. They carried a large case similar to the one that
Vick’s ankle monitor was delivered in when he started home confinement. The men
declined to identify themselves or speak to waiting reporters.
Freedom will
allow Vick to step up his efforts to resume his pro football career. Vick hopes
to soon meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who has said he would review
Vick’s status after Vick completed his sentence.
Goodell has said he wants to
sit down with Vick, but it’s unclear when that face-to-face meeting will take
place.

“The review of his status is ongoing,” league spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday.
“There are no further details and no timetable.”
If Vick is able to return to the NFL, it won’t be with Atlanta. The Falcons released Vick in June.
“Michael did an egregious thing,” Goodell told The Associated Press in
April. “He has paid a very significant price for that.”
He said people are forgiving when someone who has done wrong shows remorse and is prepared to live a different life.
“That’s something he has to prove to myself and the general
public,” Goodell said.
Vick, 29, did not initially show enough remorse to
satisfy U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson. Vick apologized in court in 2007, but
Hudson denied him an “acceptance of responsibility” credit that could have
reduced his sentence. He sentenced Vick to 23 months in prison—more than any of
Vick’s three co-defendants.
Under the federal truth-in-sentencing law, Vick
had to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence. He served the first 18 months
in the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., before being transferred to
home confinement in May.
While on home confinement, Vick—once the NFL’s
highest-paid player— worked a $10-an-hour construction job for a few weeks. He
switched jobs last month, assisting in children’s health and fitness programs at
the Boys and Girls Clubs.
Vick will remain on probation for three years. He
also is under a three-year suspended sentence for a state dogfighting
conviction.

And as if it hasn't already been said enough, the man has paid his debt (despite how unfair it was) to society. LET HIM LIVE.
